Looks like it's been deleted. Well, here's what I'd like to see:

• Areatrack while mounted


• Throw traps while mounted


• Heal myself while mounted

Coming back into the Ranger fold (I stopped for a while to PvP) I'd like to see these things implimented with mounts.

Add

• Using the pet's attacks (generic, special 1 and 2). Trick after all works too.


• Able to craft (I can steer with legs), would obviously not work on a swoop -> giving a pet (be/ch) an extra impulse for using pets instead of the vehicles


• Being able to apply camo/maskscent


• Being able to search a lair

i think that's all of them... some folks went into a lot more depth than others, even going into how bonuses should be dispersed among different professions and skill onions... they're easy to spot though if you're looking, as they are a little more verbose than most of the posts...

it was tough not giving my opinion on a lot of these... some are pretty ridiculous, others are pretty good...obviously not all of them can be done - a lot are contradictory...

i had my own ideas once... but i've forgotten them now that i've read all that... heh

And for those who want to rp tracking, they can still get off...

Actually I'd like to rp tracking while ON my mount, give me some electrobinoculars (like Lukes) for my tracking, hey this is Star Wars!

1. /areatrack whileriding amount


2. /conceal and /maskscent while riding a mount

That's what I'd like to see as a basic change. Number 2 is my big one though.
